An exquisite gift prayer book following the narrative themes of the Bible. Companion to The Bible Retold In Twelve Chapters.

An exquisite companion prayer book to The Bible Story Retold in Twelve Chapters, this volume follows the narrative themes of the Bible and offers a selection of prayers based on the events of the stories. This makes it easy to find prayers for a specific occasion, but also enables the reader to find a prayer that fits with the section of the Bible they are reading, enriching the experience, and encouraging deeper reflection. Andrea Skevington has expertly compiled a variety of prayers, Bible verses, poems, lyrics, and prayers of her own creation. They are bound in a beautiful hardback with a ribbon marker.
